I think the roof is steel because it forms part of the welded bodyshell, whereas on the RR Classic the roof was a separate alloy panel that was bolted to the shell. I don't think the alloy panels has anything to do with it rusting less than other Land Rovers - I think it actually has fewer...

It'll be the Gems/Thor thing.

Don't worry! Found it!!!

I've swapped the engine in the RR and I have a query about the oil cooler pipes - I assume they should have o-rings where they seat in the bottom of the oil filter housing, but I can't see them on any of the exploded diagrams. Should they be there and, if so, what is the part number (or just...

There is a tiny bit of movement when the timing pin is in, but bear in mind it is toward the other edge of the flywheel, where a mm of play is a fraction of a degree. The FIP sprocket is tiny in comparison, so the same actual movement in mm would be a few degrees. So, whilst it would be great if...

Transfer motor is the most likely culprit and not terribly difficult.

Are these guys too far? Diesel Bob Tuning - Bobs Busy

Exactly - given that they are at the bottom of the engine they collect muck from every little leak above them!

Well, there's a coolant hose between the rad and the engine that sits directly above that. Probably a good place to start.

And where on the left hand side? Front, back, middle?

This is the interweb - don't take things too seriously! :)

Yes, the big bugger in the middle of the crank pulley! It's torqued to 100mn then an additional 150 degrees of angle. Not sure if it's ok to reuse it? What is the downside to turning the engine the wrong way (not that I have). Is it the potential for the chain to slip and put the cam/fip out of...

Is the main crank bolt on the M51 engine a stretch bolt? RAVE says it should be discarded and a new one used - is that necessary?

Rent an Aston for your first day and turn up in that!

What type of company prefers a Skoda/Mondeo over a Merc due to the company image? Don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking those two, but the comment intrigued me.

The hole is a breather, allowing for heat expansion of the components and air inside to expand without blowing seals. You are only supposed to plug the hole for the duration of wading, then remove it afterwards. You are not supposed to run with the hole permanently sealed.

The fan may be turning, but that doesn't mean it's working correctly. It'll always spin a bit just because of friction in the viscous coupling, but that doesn't mean it's 'locking up' properly when the temp rises.

The 'sniff test' isn't what it sounds like - it means using a device that measures hydrocarbons in the steam, rather that seeing what it smells like! Secondly, I think you are talking about the electric fans. There is only one viscous fan, and it sits between the rad and the engine. Do you have...

Cheers for that. Did you have the part number or did you actually navigate to it on Rimmer's website, because I'm buggered if I can find which category it comes under!
